kyon-kyon - November 24, 2006 06:04 AM (GMT)
isn't anyone interested in it??? xD one of the world's hardest brain teaser toys that's lasted for over 25 years, i think. hahah. but really, once you get used to it, IT GETS SO ADDICTING!!! i got 2 of my friends addicted and now i'm teaching them. of course, they said they were gonna get me new cubes for christmas. wahahah ;)
so what do you think about it?? it might seem stupid, but if can learn if that's what you really want ^_^ (there're videos on youtube, hahahah!! if you're gonna search, watch the ones by "Thrawst". his are really good.)
and if anyone wants to know, i've only been SERIOUSLY(emphasised cuz i used to cheat a LOT. with cheat sheets and taking it apart...bad kyonie *hits self*) for almost a month and my record's 1 min 10 seconds...slow i know, but i'm workin on it xD i can pull it under 2 minutes every time but i can't seem to get that 1:10 again...i guess i was just SUPER lucky that time xD

wooow this post is freaking old xDD my new record's 22 seconds~!! whoot whoooot i'm slowly getting to my goal!! xDDD
edit: 8/20/07

edit: 7-7-08

O.O
omgosh!!! *hugs fishie* it's okay it's okay. at least jewely won't make you smarter >=]
then again, i dunno if solving the cube would make you smarter...lemme google it xD
*pause*
...nvm, totally can't find it...but i still think it makes you smarter...a little, i guess xD but the fun part is is that you can impress people >=] wahahahah yesssss.
Kan-Chan - November 24, 2006 09:34 PM (GMT)
It does make you smarter, atleast I think so, cause you need think and strategic! <---not a real word? lol :FOOD!: :hahaha:
funky_fish - November 25, 2006 03:42 AM (GMT)
It probably does make you smarter as it makes you think :hahaha: If you were a Sim, your logic points would be waaay up :hahaha:

I'm not really interested in the puzzle and I'm not that good in logic puzzles either. It would probably take my entire life time to complete it and I lose interests in things very quickly. >_<

I think it is very helpful to make your brain works. My grandpa has a collection of many kinds of rubik cube and he loves to play with them. Maybe because of that, I like it too. Think faster and work harder everyone.
kyon-kyon - December 25, 2006 04:18 AM (GMT)
ahhhh really? xD haha i tried to look up if it makes you smarter in any way but i couldn't find a thing >.>
ahhh i'm jealousss, i only have like 4 3x3x3's :hahaha: they keep getting ruineddd, i gotta lay back on the cubing before i go broke...
funky_fish - December 25, 2006 04:34 AM (GMT)
I always cheated though with rubic cubes :FOOD!: When i got fustrated that i couldn't put it back together, i would take it apart and manually do it :hahaha:
kyon-kyon - December 25, 2006 08:07 AM (GMT)
HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! :hahaha: NICEEEEEEEEEEEE *HIGH FIVEEE*
actually, i used to do that too!!! like i knew how to solve like 2/3 of it, but the last part, i didn't understand fully until after like a month. so at that time, i'd always take the top part appart hahaha :hahaha: but now, NO MOOOOOOOOOORE WHOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!! xDDD
MAAAAN you know those triangle "rubik's cubes" ??? THEY'RE SO EFFING WIIIIIIIIIIIERD!!!! my friend showed me his...i gave up hahah xD
Jenn - December 25, 2006 07:11 PM (GMT)
My friend is really into rubik's cube, he can pretty much solve anything in a few minutes.. o_o
I like doing it but I suck: I can never get passed half of it @.@
funky_fish - December 26, 2006 05:21 AM (GMT)
A triangular rubik cube? How the heck would that work? I've never seen one~!! :hahaha:

That is true, I must say. But like I said, these puzzles don't interest me. ^^;
ChocoCherry16 - January 5, 2007 07:03 AM (GMT)
i've tried that once, and i failed. i had no patience at all. i ended up messing it up big time. teehee :)
chibigirl01 - January 10, 2007 02:03 AM (GMT)
:grrr: the rubiks cube...ahh..memories.haha.
i used to be interested in it, but then i got frustrated because i couldnt solve it and i havent touched one since.
kyon-kyon - January 10, 2007 02:12 AM (GMT)
hahaha ahh i can't blame ya xD i was like that too. i spent like 3 days trying to get past one side, but yea...i got frusterated too and i didn't touch it for like 3 months :hahaha:

Same here. I guess I give in things too easily... ^^;
darkestsecrets - January 10, 2007 09:29 AM (GMT)
lol yeah it is just like sudoku and math for me, when i just started it is really boring but once you are really into it, it becomes really addictive and you wanna do more and more XD lol
WhiteWolf_Kyoko - January 14, 2007 02:34 PM (GMT)
Ah the rubik's cube... I never could figure that thing out lol. I was only able to get one side when ever I tried it. Then I got bored and stopped trying to figure it out.
kyon-kyon - January 15, 2007 03:14 AM (GMT)
haha yea i really couldn't get past the first layer either :hahaha: i would've been completely oblivious if it wasn't for that video i saw.
@darkestsecrets: hahaha you're right xD well for the math part, i could never get sudoku :hahaha: couldn't even get past the EASY level hahahaha. but math, yea...even though i don't like it >.>;; i'm such a nerd though. like whenever i solve a really hard and long problem, i always feel so accomplished xD haha *dork*
funky_fish - January 16, 2007 01:06 PM (GMT)
rubik cube... hurt brain... or at least... whats left of it... :hahaha:

Actually when I was in grade school my friend had one of those.
lol it sure was different than your regular square one.
I remeber he showed us how to solve it in one minute...he
just disasembled it and then reassembled it in the way it
was when he bought it. crazy way, but it sure was done under one minute lol
Oh. and I had the traditional one, never was able to solve it though,
it was just too much for me. Unfortunately it broke, so I cannot
try out my skiils again now :)
bittersweetness - February 16, 2007 08:20 AM (GMT)
hmm. i dont have a very long attention span so ive never actually completed more than two sides of a rubiks cube.. i get really frustrated, then i just stop.. -__-;
trisia - February 16, 2007 06:14 PM (GMT)
that thing..... i still havent solved it to this day !!! i think its somewhere in my closet :???: heyy maybe this summer i'll try it again !!! wish me luck guyyss haha
:yawn~: lack of sleep due to trying to solve rubiks cube....
Semyprecious - February 17, 2007 09:38 PM (GMT)
@.@ I kind of gave up on Rubik's cube after seeing that my brother could remove the stickers on ours and change the colors in order to avoid figuring it out. Took all the fun out of accomplishing the thing. However.., my Dad has always been good on all those puzzles and he does it to pass time while watching TV.
guess I prefer phasing out on tetris to concentrating some times. :hahaha:
AnimeGrl - February 18, 2007 03:51 PM (GMT)
OMG! the rubik's cube. my friends like so addicted to it, they like bring it to school everyday to solve it. and i feel so jealous cuz i cant even solve it T.T one of my friends can make a checkered patteren on it and one of my other friends can make a dot in the middle a different color [maybe the oppostie color].
Esme - February 19, 2007 12:52 AM (GMT)
Gah, I hate that thing! I just can't do it and it frustrates me!
:grrr:
akimo - April 28, 2007 05:37 AM (GMT)
i have one. never solved it though lol.. T.T i give up on it @.@
rosette_christopher - April 29, 2007 03:49 PM (GMT)
those things are really addicting, but at the same time aggrivating >:[
my friend who is like.. a physics genius can solve a rubix cube in less than 4 minutes. it's quite amazing, really.
but with me, I can barely solve one side X[
Litoabcgurl - May 18, 2007 04:51 AM (GMT)
OMG! this is the new craze at my school right now. everyone is crazy and going around with their rubik's cube at school. today a guy broke this other guy's cube and they started a fight!
zarbhebz_1012 - May 18, 2007 05:13 AM (GMT)
i think i played with it when i was in 2nd grade,, but i quickly got tired of it coz i really had no clue how to fix it. my uncle messed it up for me so i can fix it but he messed it up so well,, that it was just too much for my lil ol' 2nd grade brain. BUt alas,, now that i have a much capable brain,, laziness have seeped into it and i dare say i'd rather read mangas than do puzzles. :YAY!:
Samantha - May 18, 2007 06:34 AM (GMT)
they make great paperweights and thats all im going to say about them....cause thats all i use them for
Samantha - May 18, 2007 06:36 AM (GMT)
oh and they're great to throw at anoying things like younger siblings or the squirrels that live in your walls (don't ask alls i can say is they've invaded)
Crisn - May 18, 2007 11:21 AM (GMT)
I love those things, I got it 3 times in less then 5hrs. pretty hard though. after the first time, I figured out a pattern, and second time I just wanted to make sure. and on the last time, it took me 1hr. I remember because my friend was timing me on it and I was proud of it!
Ozeane - May 20, 2007 01:39 AM (GMT)
My friend can solve one in like 7 minutes. I always wanted to know how to solve one!! Then everyone can think i'm smart. :FOOD!: ha ha ha
funky_fish - May 20, 2007 06:13 AM (GMT)
Hey~ I found my old rubik's cube awhile ago, after several minutes... i threw it at the wall XDDDD
Set-chan - May 20, 2007 10:37 AM (GMT)
rawrrrr!!! luv the thing! i can beat it pretty fast....well the triangle ones easier...but the cubes pretty easy too....but i havent tried it in a while....so by now ill probably be bad at it T^T
libraryrocker - May 20, 2007 12:06 PM (GMT)
I can get 2 sides all one color with only my brain!!!! With no cheat sheets or anything, or seeing anybody else doing it, EVER... I WILL GET YOU THE OTHER FOUR SIDES!!!! BEWARE MY RUBIX ABILITY.... I'M COMING FOR YOU!!!!!! :hahaha:
funky_fish - May 20, 2007 12:24 PM (GMT)
ARGH~!
Everyone seems soo0o... logical :hahaha:
I however have no logic what-so-ever.... is that something to be proud of? XDDD
